Henri Coanda First Jet Engine

[Durepanya]

Yes, Coanda also invented the jetpack.

[virgiliu68]

da.acolo au studiat,dar tot romani au ramas,ce ar fi fost ca el sa nu existe?si-au pus intrebarea asta tarile din vest? si la noi se fac ingineri la norma,rid,doar sa se numeasca ingineri?...da ...dar 1% chiar gindesc

[ReconSparton]

British Invented the Jet Engine just before WW1, was never used though. Fact.

[kmica2008]

@ReconSparton you must mean ww2. frank whittle is recognized as the jet engine inventor and he registered his patent in 1930, twenty years after coanda.

we could both be right because patents are a tricky business and the one made in paris won't be valid in vienna, london or in the states.

I SURE HOPE PEOPLE LEARNED FROM THIS

[T3Hun]

lasatii ma pe straini sunt gelosi mai ales americanii ai dreaq vor sa culeaga ei toti laurii,daca nu inventa romanul motorul cu reactie cum plm ajungeau ei pe luna aa?puneau motor cu elice la racheta?:)))

[EngineeringFun]

Sure there are people who would say that he did not invent anything. The Wright brothers did the same and just put an engine on an airplane. Everything was invented by other people (i.e. Lillianthal et al.) but they are considered the parents of modern aviation. Just a few years later Coanda put up a jet plane. It's not based on the modern turbo jet but nontheless a jet plane by ANY standards. The modern jet engine was invented 20 years later but the first JET PLANE was Coanda's invention.

[oneoctavelow]

I think that Romanians are viewed as second class citizens by the West and the idea that one of their own is responsible for such an important invention, especially when Whittle is promoted as the true inventor of the jet - is indeed challenging. Romanians are by the English definition s combination of gypsies and vampires.

[marinohell]

Hans Joachim Pabst von Ohain (December 14, 1911 - March 13, 1998). He was born,with a year after presenting jet plane to the Paris Salon (1910).

[pay1oro]

The British invented fire ,the British invented the wells,you invented everything ,how come if you British people are so genius you lost a fucking empire ...?:))))

[lukec21]

@pay1oro No the Americans are great engineers (wrights) and the germans too, (Germany's Dr. Hans von Ohain) especially in this case, Im afraid it was not a romanian this time, maybe one day. Coanda was not the inventor, he simply put the idea together, but it is a dispute actually that he was not even the first to put the worlds idea together.

[1Iura1]

@pay1oro the main thing is that they ve got lots of black people and lots of indians etc If you go for a walk through London you can barely see english people hahahahaha what they ocupied came back to them ;) so its not anymore UK but a new America where is multinational country

[lukec21]

Coanda was the first to build the first plane with the jet engine on the aircraft, But this was on the drawing boards of people all over the world he did not think of the idea he simply put together the worldwide idea, Sir frank Whittle designed the first jet engine that is the facts. Coanda is only a builder of an experimental aircraft, he put together the various parts. He did not invent the first plane, and he did not come up with the idea of the first jet airoplane, Simple.

[DrStrangebomb1993]

@lukec21 Obviously the British invented everything, even curry and chicken masala, right?

[lukec21]

@DrStrangebomb1993 Dont be silly now,I never said the british invented everything. Your idea that Coanda invented the plane or any type of plane is a radiculous claim, He simply put togther a world wide idea, That was on the drawing board of probably hundreds of designers around the world. I find it rather annoying ans insulting that people say it was one man in romania that invented the jet plane, it is absolutely rubbish and so untrue.

[tomcataircraft]

@lukec21 Just look at the facts! One revolutionary airplane in the year 1910 at Paris Internationl Aviation Exhibition. The Wright brothers make them first flight in Dec. 1903 using a catapult. Did you ever heard about Traian Vuia? Vuia's machine was able, in 1906, to take off from a flat surface by on-board means without outside assistance, such as an incline, rails, or catapult. What about Aurel Vlaicu? First airplane made in Romania-1910. They are our pioneers. Make some reserch on wikipedia!

[DrStrangebomb1993]

@lukec21 *Sigh* Of course it's rubbish and untrue because you Brits view Romanians as second-class citizens and no doubt confuse them with gypsy beggars because your ego doesn't allow you to consider the possibility that a Romanian actually invented something that a Briton is credited with. Like the insulin - a Romanian invention, but the Canadians discredited him at Toronto and snatched the Nobel Prize.

[EngineeringFun]

@lukec21 He was born in 1907.

[bondita]

GOD of flying was ,is and will remain always ROMANIAN

[keithalaws]

Coanda invented the jet engine. Whittle and the german bloke replaced Coanda's internal combustion engine with a turbine in the jet exhaust and therefore invented the turbojet

[lukec21]

Air Commodore Sir Frank Whittle, OM, KBE, CB, FRS, Hon FRAeS (1 June 1907 – 9 August 1996) was a British Royal Air Force (RAF) engineer officer. Sharing credit with Germany's Dr. Hans von Ohain for independently inventing the turbojet engine (though some years earlier than Dr. von Ohain), he is hailed by some as the father of jet propulsion.[1] It is more likely that this was created between the Germans and British, the Romanian coanda claim is just a pathetic dispute.And that is history.

[SteauaBucuresti]

@lukec21

The jet engine was invented by a Romanian, period. No more to tell. You should applaud us.

[1Iura1]

@SteauaBucuresti aestea din UK is cu nasul asa de sus ca intr-o buna zi se vor impiedica din propria greseala :) deja se vede procesul invers de colonizare ! asa le trebuie ca si dracilor de rusi si alti idioti

[lukec21]

wickipedia says: Henri Marie Coandă (Romanian pronunciation: [ɑ̃ˈri maˈri ˈko̯andə]; 7 June 1886 – 25 November 1972[1]) was a Romanian inventor, aerodynamics pioneer and builder of an experimental aircraft, the Coandă-1910 described by Coandă in the mid-1950s as the world's first jet,[2] a controversial claim disputed by some and supported by others.[3] So I guess all romanians support this myth and everbody else in the world disputes it.

[horeanikolaus]

@lukec21 every1 else in the world disputes it...except discovery channel of course.

[lukec21]

The Wright’s may have invented the first real aeroplane, but the credit for the invention of the jet engine actually goes to Sir Frank Whittle.

[SteauaBucuresti]

@lukec21

The jet engine was invented by Coanda, the first arrow-shaped airplane was invented by Vlaicu, the greatest pilot in WWII was a Romanian, Horia Agarici, managed to preciptate over 200 airplanes, both nazis and soviets. The insulin was invented by a Romanian, the first chemical atomic reaction, was made by Stefania Mariceanu, who worked in the same team as Madame Curie.. So get the fuck outta here.

[oneoctavelow]

@SteauaBucuresti Thank you. Tell that fuck wit Brit what the score is. Well done. I hope Muslims colonize England. They Deserve it !!!!!!

[Alexander02885]

the wright brother's invented the glider not the plane....a glider was no engine...is a big difference.The glider is pulled by another vehicle....is more simple to build a glider than a plane.

You can't compare those 2 inventors because they lived in 2 different eras.

[victoritadutu]

@lukec21

The jet engine is not destroying the planet.

For the number of people who travel by jet aircraft, those people use less energy and fuel and produce less pollution than if they had all travelled the same distances by car, yet even with less fuel per mile, they travel ten times as fast. With a boat it is even worse.

The miracle of air transport. Ten times as fast as a car, yet using less fuel per mile!

[barbelotta]

[hallsf]

Also, Coanda's jet sleigh (a.k.a. sled) was yet even more proof that Romania does indeed rule. Look for it--weird, wild stuff!

[IReapU]

Romania rules, mother fuckers!

[L19G65]

Simply put : in 1910 there wasn't any jet engine available in the world,so Henri Coanda didn't modified anything.He just built one for his revolutionary airplane.He just used a very classic 4-in-line cylinders engine (Clerget brand) driving an impeller (not a propeller) thus leading high pressure air into burning chambers where fuel was injected and the resulting burning gases were ehausted thru some nozzles with an even more higher pressure this creating jet propulsion. This is the motorjet !

[Falconfalc]

@lukec21 you sound like from a bycicle to a car there's no great achievement, both got wheels so what's the big improvement. The Jet propulsion was not new... we know chinese used it for fireworks centuries before. At that time they could barely make a plane fly with a propeler system, Coanda saw a different way and no one credited him that this could actualy work. He made it work, flew a bit and prooved that a plane can fly with this propulsion system too.

[ZoranM001]

The first jet powered aircraft was a balloon with a hole in it in 1517. It crashed on its first flight also. The inventor's name was Edmond Fart. He quickly changed his name once people started making fun of him.

[sk8erluk]

@areolaman i researched and found no evidence of the existing of this edmond fart of yours. can you point us to the place where u found this article or some writen proof of your affirmation. best regards

some ppl are just plain retards...what do all those comments have to do with the jet engine? You all fail .

[m9078jk3]

This is one of the most interesting aircraft developed.

Very impressive and way ahead of its time.

[Malahie1]

Let me mention here that Avro Canada has a US Patent (Patent 3022963 Disc-type aircraft with peripheral jet control

Feb 27 1962 ) for the Avrocar. The only connection with Coanda is the intention of using the Coanda Effect. It has nothing to do with Aerodina Lenticulara. That concept( of Coanda) is not attainable

[rudeydudey05]

[rudeydudey05]

Officially used you idiot. You cant walk into Italy or France and start talking Romanian and expect anyone to understand you. Romanian is OFFICIALLY used in Romania , Moldover and a tiny bit of Serbia. You dont even know your own history.

With comment like "Hail Obama" just shows what sort of person you really are, you are the shame of Romania.

DONT is an excepted English word pal, i sugest you get learning, your parents must be proud to drag up a total idiot.

[alexbuneapetru]

eat shit... or how we say in romania sugi pula!!!!!

[thewebmaster93]

E adevarat ca Henry Coanda a fost primul care a construit un motor cu reactie (termojet un motor foarte ineficient) dar cei care au facut primele motoare cu reactie cu rotatie continua fara a necesita un al 2-lea motor pt a pune in miscare un compresor sunt Henikel si Frank Whittle.

[thracusspartacus]

that was the start just like any new invetion it needed more trial and eror , but for sure the pure jet engine was a product of Henri coandas pioneering the Technology!

[rudeydudey05]

I see what you mean, but no offence, many in the field of engineering (i am a engineer) feel that Coanda's engine is still at heart a piston engine with a compressor unit instead of a propeller where fuel is ignited. Dont get me wrong, its a fantastic invention and totally unique. I just feel that a jet engine is either a Turbojet or a Turbofan (something that dont need a piston engine to work). Coanda's machine is still a groundbreaking invention, as i like anything and everything that flies.

[iscarmarius]

I think that Coanda engine is half piston engine and half turbojet :) but I don't have any experience in this field!

I saw on youtube a lot of video where people are confusing different type of jet engine.

PS:

You told that you like anything that flies,

What do you think about a380 ?

[1Iura1]

@rudeydudey05 have you ever heard about evolution??? ill just let you thing why i mention this word ;)

[rudeydudey05]

George Cayley in 1853 made the same aircraft as Stringfellow but manned.

But you must agree that there had been some 25 pioneers of flight from all over the world before vuia, all of which had made a plane that flew.

But Vuia did make a fantastic aircraft for the times.

[iscarmarius]

I can see that you know a lot about the history of aviation. In my opinion the engine made by Coanda is the first jet engine invented, he was the first one that did not use a propeller. Nobody told that Coanda invented the turbojet. I don't know if the word jet has the same meaning in english and romanian. jet=turbojet? the engine made by Coanda doesn't have nothing in common with the turbojet ?

One more question, not concerning aviation, do you know who invented insulin? I will explain later!

[rudeydudey05]

I know that there is many versions of jet engines, ie Motorjet(Coanda) Turobojet(Whittle & Von) Turbofan, Ramjet etc.

But, when people talk about jet engines they are talking about Turbojets essentially.

I dont know anything about insulin, but i'm guessing its a Romanian ;)

I'm not trying to be-little Romanians as they have brought some very important inventions to the world like the Reaction engine, Ejection seat, Von Neumann computer architecture, Fountain pen. I'm not ignorrant.

[iscarmarius]

Thank you for your answer.

I'm working for airbus but I don't know almost nothing about jet engines :)

We had some great romanian inventor, unfortunately they are not recognized.

Henri Coandă was an important man in history of aviation.

peace to all!

[iscarmarius]

Another fact:

The first man to fly with a heavier-than-air machine with their own takeoff systems, propulsion units and landing gear was Traian Vuia. You agree on that ?

[rudeydudey05]

John Stringfellow somerset England in 1848 with the steam carrage.

But Vuia did design the better plane using a piston engine and not a steam engine, and thats what counts in my book. So i do agree with you.

[rudeydudey05]

We are talking about "Jet Engines" and not Engines in particular, as i feel that Jet Engines work in a completley different way to a internal combustion engine which Henri Coanda's engine was. Whittle has his name on the patent first because he started work on the jet Engine about 4 years before von Ohain started working on his design. I consider these two as the inventors of the jet engine.

Whatever pal whatever, Believe in sill stereotypes if you like, as realality is very different. I probably have visited more places in Europe than you have and i'm fully aware of where most countries are in the world. I find your enept and childish reasoning quite laughable. You need to get out more and see the world then you will know that all the stupid little things that you think you know are wrong, but i'm sure you will live the rest of your life in ignorrance, thats what bigots do best.

[1Iura1]

@had3s1989 I agree ! one of my cousin was in USA for few months so he told me that american are so stupid .... And he used to make jokes over them. One fella asked where is he from ? and he said : from Moldova. Tham asked where is that ? :) and here is the joke hahahaha My cousin explain that is a USA state hahahahahah and its somewhere in the South side ..... ending to explain him how to get there :) they dont know even the names of there states !!!

[aserta]

one more thing so u don't go crying to ur momma, it says: "the first jet-propelled"

that doesen't spout jet engine, while ur whittle was discovering the stick as ass poking device, we already had, one wing design airplanes, and central, steering, which..soo go eat chips and discover uses for it ur better suited to that.

[rudeydudey05]

Sorry, your post dosnt make sense, are you attempting to be funny?

Whittle and Von invented the jet Engine, you know, it goes wooosh and hot air comes out of the back!

I sugest you look up how Coanda's engine works, as its a hybrid of jet engines and piston engine Completley different to what a turbojet engine is. Its more of a motorjet than a jet.

Are you crying to momma yet boyo.

[aserta]

dude out of a jet engine's ass jet'ed air commes out thus thrust is born.

the description of the video and coanda's hybrid engine is jet propelled thus a jet engine, it's diference of jet type dum.

u can stay back in ur chair, others hinted the turbojet wayyyy before whitlle or von.

ohh and do learn some about jet engines and try not too look into wiki formats...

[rudeydudey05]

And you dont use Wiki? People who say they dont use Wiki are liars. Are you a liar?

Others hinted, but they didnt build it. Whittle & von are the only ones to build the first turbo-jet engine, thats the difference. Coanda invented the motorjet or Thermojet, even that didnt work properly, as the thing had no power, it either crahed or it set itself on fire in flight.

jet engines depended on the development of the turbojet to become a reality. Thank you whittle & Von, poor ol Coanda.

[1Iura1]

@rudeydudey05 actually I new that coanda was the first man who invated jet engine from school , history subject ;) I think I was 14 years old .

[had3s1989]

you prove me that you are an asshole.fucking american retard.f..k america

[rudeydudey05]

LOL, i'd stop now if i was you, your just making yourself look a complete moron for all to see.

I like the good people of Romania so i wont insult them like you have insulted my country, i wont lower myself to your level.

Its proove not prove, need to get that arse back to school son.

[ashsue99]

close but not close enough i rember reading about rudolph diesal so say the fathere of that engine but it was a scotsman called mclaern that used oil in the same ways we use diesal today his engine was 90% the same as todays engines were diseals if i am right used coal dust so we could say that its a meclarn engine not a diesal engine in the end nothing is new its all a devolpment from something alse but whittles engine and patent is the one that stands for ever

[coophomie]

lol right on dude

[rudeydudey05]

Frank Whittle did invent the "Turbojet" which is the for-father of todays jet engine, Coanda did invent a hybrid of the piston engine with a compressor that made air jet out, but it has nothing in common with todays jet engine unfortunatley, think its got more in common with a rocket engine than a jet engine in the terms of how they work.

[brendonnz1964]

There was the German, von Ohain who was working on the jet-engine as well,von Ohain's jet design is the forefather to the modern jet engine.Both von Ohain and Whittle died in the 1990's.

[rudeydudey05]

Von Ohain and Whittle's engines are of the same design, so they are both the forefathers, with a few minor changes. The only difference is that Frank whittle started his work on the jet engine in 1930 and got a patent in 1932 when von Ohain started in 1935

Two brilliant inventors come up with the same engine at the same time, just that whittle started his version a few years before vons.

So i think it fair that both (Whittle & von) Share the credit of inventing the jet engine.

[had3s1989]

learn some true history faggot.american asshole:|

[rudeydudey05]

You have no idea of what a jet engine is do you? and its not conda's piston engine thats for sure. You just prooved yourself to be ignorrant and stupid with your comment, so i'll leave you to your arrogance. Your the one who needs to learn some real history pal and some manors while your in a learning mood.

Come back to me when you have a degree in Engineering.

[had3s1989]

believe me man,i know more history then you.......alongside of you i`m a little enstein:))....i`m not ignorrant,i just see the truth;))

[rudeydudey05]

God your a idiot lol.

[had3s1989]

if i need go back to school why don`yt you speak romanian?!

[rudeydudey05]

I already speak French, Spanish and English, three of the worlds most usefull languages, no point in speaking Romanian, why would i? where else in the world is Romanian used outside Romania? Plus if i was typing in French or Spanish i would make sure the spelling was correct my ignorrant friend, pitty you dont put the same amount of pride when your typing in English.

@had3s1989 because most english speakers know only english hahahahahahaha :) even thogh they dont understand each other perfectly lets american wont understand irish people, scotish etc ;)

@Xamocses tricky question for an american , british :) Bravo Coanda !!

[mariusilina]

three*...sorry for the mistakes

[mariusilina]

MAYBE there wouldn't have been a turbo-jet without Coanda's thermo-jet. Let's keep it that way. I'm not suggesting that the other two fellows stole the idea, but they used it, refined it and obtained their results. They were the accomplishers of what Coanda began. They should all tree be declared co-authors rather then competitors in a race that they weren't even aware of.

[speedbird007]

No, Whittle was the only one who go it right and his engine worked in a totally different way to Coanda's Whittle was patiented for the Jet in 1930. pistone engines were talked about in britain from way before Conanda's invention.

[mariusilina]

Well,fellows,the thermo-jet engine and the turbo-jet engine might be two different things, but they certainly have one thing in common: They are both JET-ENGINES. SO, I guess that makes my dear compatriot, Henry Coanda, the inventor of the FIRST JET-ENGINE. It does not actualy matter that it was not a nowadays jet engine, but what matters is that it can be called a JET.

Henry Coanda invented the first jet-engine on the planet.

[paul93cj]

Henri Coanda is the real inventer of the jet engine . romanians rulles :);):D:D i don't care ho what says. this is true

[speedbird007]

No, Sir Frank whittle is the jet Pioneer. coandas engine still had a propella, Whittle invented the first Turbo Jet and after burner, Rolls Royce and GE use his idea today on modern engines Whittle was the only one who knew what he was doing

[thewebmaster93]

henri coanda has invented the jet engine u americans just stole it like everything else

[bloodfartz]

the fact that he invented it, but romania never profited from it, is EXACTLY what's wrong with romania.... smart people, but with no idea how to market their shit... it still took the germans, americans and british to actually make these planes flyable above mach1, so while it's nice that he made the first one, he was far from being the one that made it popular? Why isnt romania a giant of aviation, if they were so smart to make the jet??????

[greatdragon11]

yeah 30 years later plus the italians made jets to in 1940.

[alinutza24]

A lot of romanian inventors brought a lot to the aviation industry but were never recognized,a lot of them studied in some of the best universities in the world,we,romanians don't really care if others know,we respect these people and that's it...

@bloodfartz check please who started in USA the broadTV ? and again someone else but not an american ! was a russian man even I dont like russina but this is a fact !

For those that try to rebuff Coanda's accomplishments:

* 1956: In New York, Coanda was honored as the inventor of the first jet airplane: one speaker lauded him as "the past, present and the future of aviation."

* 1965: At the International Automation Symposium in New York, Coanda received the Harry Diamond Laboratories Award.

* Award and Grand Gold Medal "Vielles Tiges".

UNESCO Award for Scientific Research

The Medal of French Aeronautics, Order of Merit, and Commander ring

[Mikojan88]

Very interesting. I have to say, that it is really sad, that he did not made it into the books of aviation history. But his engine is not a real jet. Its a hybrid (similar to the 20 year later flying Caproni-Campini), because the kompressor is driven by a normal piston engine, and not like the german or british engines from wwII, with a turbine.

[playstasion3]

henri coanda invented the jet engine and just because romania are a small country other countrys stole his idea if it wasn't for other countrys romania would be one of the most popular in the world and germany and all them BIG countrys what did they do scratch their ass and steal ideas

[iulian19822004]

In late 1929 Whittle sent his concept to the Air Ministry to see if it would be any interest.

Whittle's jet engine patent lapsed in 1935 because he could not afford the renewal fee of £5.

[Joe22300]

You'll find that Frank Whittle invented the jet engine, and then the germans copied it.

[r1wing]

Whittle invented the turbojet, that is a jet engine composed of a compressor, a combustor and a turbine, with the turbine driving the compressor to force air into the combustor. Coanda's engine was a thermojet, meaning a jet engine without a turbine, with the compressor driven by a conventional piston engine. Back in 1910 the were no materials resilient enough to build gas turbines (the steam turbine was already a reality).

[r1wing]

And another thing: the Germans didn't copy it. German Pabst von Ohain developed his own version of the engine, very different from the British design. While Whittle's engine had a centrifugal compressor and multiple combustion chambers, von Ohain's had an axial flow compressor and annular combustor. The British engine was developing less traction and was heavier than the German one, but was more reliable. The German engine was thiner and therefore better suited for high-speed aircraft.

[LiviuFloreaRo]

Correction needed . Whittle invented the turbojet, the first jet engine, the termojet, was invented by Henry Coanda.

[tarius85]

Coanda invented the motorjet, a hybrid of jet engines and piston engine technology. The jet engine is based on Coanda's invention.

nice

The blades on that thing looks like a sticker, the turbine engine looks like a trash can painted red, and how do you fly a plane that throws hot gases (800 degrees) in your face?

FAKE!!

[markoslr]

ok listen, why do you think he was awarded? "looks like a trash can" well obviouselly it wouldnt look like todays get engine because that was 100 years ago, and if u think its fake why do you think in his museum there are awards he got from different countryes, because its fake? i think your words are fake

[rainerfilm]

I build turbine jet engines. Something is not right with that engine, the sticker blades? I don't believe that thing actually works. sorry, looks like a failure.

The world biggest minds are from ROMANIA and I'm proud for that.They invented things that americans and europeans tooke away from them and assume later saying they invented

[r1wing]

You are ridiculous man. It's true, there are many Romanian inventors, but there are countless others from other countries. There is one thing all Romanian inventors have in common: while displaying great creativity and ingenuity when devising their inventions, they never managed to make a profit out of them.

Coanda invented the termojet . Modern planes use turbojets ,which were developed in the 30's and 40's, but Coanda's plane was the first jet propelled aicraft.

See Paulescu case.

@GTO192000 And sometimes the Russians too.Always forget that the Russians always copied everything.

@doormagic

BS.

The periodic system by Mendelev, Pavlov's Behaviourism in psychology, Igor Sikorsky's Helicopter, and a heap of astro physicists like Andrej Linde, Zeldovitj, and others.

And how the hell did they get into space first in 1957 with Sputnik and 1961 with Gagarin if they copied everything?

Get lost. Anybody that disrespects other people can screw themselves.

nice

Actually, researchers like Whittle and Heinkel would have pursued their work--they obviously did--despite the fact that others worked on jet engines, too. And the same thing goes on today. We all stand on the shoulders of giants and few of us mind doing so. --A Creative Researcher (i.e. U. professor).

this sucks shit!

[danyrom223]

y is nothing about him in period like 1938-1968/.....y?

[TheCessnaKid]

Wrong, there were no verified reports that if flew, or even started, and if it had, frank whittle wouldn't have wasted his time, and neither would ernst heinkel on his HE-178

[tarius85]

It was started at the Second International Aeronautical Exhibition in Paris, in front of many people. The engine developed a higher trust than imagined and was airborn sooner than expected and lost control, crashing the airplane. But it did lift off...
